Hobart Welder
Hi Guys
Wanting to know more about this Hobart Welder that I found recently. I believe it is WW2 vintage and 100% complete. It has a Hudson (Chrysler) flat six side valve motor, is painted Olive Drab and has ID numbers on top. The object on top is a lifting eye. Can someone tell me more? What part did it play within the Australian Army? What would it have been mounted on - trailer or truck? Thanks Tommy K Found this pic on internet. Last edited by Stuart Kirkham; 24-03-07 at 14:39. |

Thanks Alex.
It's amazing how much more you get when you put 'old' in front of something. I need to 'dumb down' my search wording. Tommy K |

WW2 1943 Hobart Welder
Hello Gang,
I just saw the Hobart Welder thread and that you might want be interested to see the 1943 US Army Hobart welder that I own. The Model of Welder is: GR-300-S The welder with trailer weighs 4000LBS and the trailer is equipped with blackout Lights. It has a Dodge 230CI Flathead 6 Cylinder Engine which is the same engine as the 1942 WC51 Dodge ¾ Ton Truck which is pulling it. The welder in its original configuration and on its original trailer . I also have its original Hobart US Army Technical Manual. It Has a Brass Tag on Armature stating it was rebuilt in 1950 in Fulda Germany by the Karl Schmidt Generator Rebuilding Facility. TOMMY K I would love to see the photos of the welder you mention in your posts!! Thanks! Mike mike@weldedparts.com |
